The Anne de Joyeuse cooperative is named after a well-known 16th-century figure, the Duke of Joyeuse, who was bestowed the lordship of Limoux by Henry III.

About the wine

The “Very” range embodies the full richness of the terroir. To the west, our vineyard influenced by the oceanic climate and planted on clay‑limestone terraces brings elegance. In the northeast, the Mediterranean influence and its clay‑silt molasse soils provide fruitiness and power. In the south, the Upper Aude Valley allows each grape variety to ripen slowly, giving freshness and finesse.
These remarkable conditions, combined with vineyard practices that follow “Protect Planet” charter, allow us to obtain the finest grapes for crafting this wine.

Vineyards

Our vineyard in the Upper Aude Valley is the freshest and highest in altitude in the entire Languedoc region. This high‑altitude terroir is perfectly suited to Pinot Noir, allowing the variety to express all its finesse.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested by hand. Long 30‑day maceration. The wine is aged for 8 months in truncated‑cone oak vats.

Tasting notes

A ruby‑red colour reveals the wine’s elegant character. On the nose, red berries (raspberry, cherry) with delicate floral notes. On the palate, it is elegant and well‑balanced.

Food pairing

Recommended with duck breast and cherries, mushroom risotto, or cheeses such as Saint‑Nectaire and Morbier. Serve at 14°C.
